DECISION OF THE INTER.
STATE COMMERCE.
COMMISSION.
Railroads Must Take The Fourth
Section A They Find 1t.

section IA They Find Ii.
Tho Interstate Commerce COMMITS
sion has rendered the longexpected de-
cission upon the fourth section Of the
Interstate Commerce Act, which pro-
hibits greater charge for the Transport
tation of passengers and property over
a shorter than longer distance in the
same direction under substantially SINH
lar circumstances and conditions.
The decision is very long, comprising
more than $4,000 words, but the most
important feature is the announcement
that the Commission, after mature con.
sderation, is satisfied that the statute
does not require it to decide in every
instance on MI exceptional case and
grant an order for relief before the car
rier is at liberty in its tariffs to depart
from the general rule. The carrier
must decide for itself what are substan-
tialiy similar circumstances and condi-
tions which preclude the special rate,
rebate or drawback, which il made uu-
lawful by Section d aud Section A.
since no tribunal is empowered to judge
for it until after the carrier has acted, and
then only for the purpose of teterlnin-
ing whether its action constitutes vio-
lution of the law.
The carrier judges ON the peril of the
consequences; but the special rate, re-
bate or drawback which it grants, is not
illegal when it turns out that the cir
culnstances and conditions are not such
rs forbid it; and a. Congress clearly
Intended this, it must also, when using
the same words in the fourth section,
have intended that the carrier (whose
private privilege was i'll the same wuy
limited by them) would, in the same
way, act upon its judgement of limiting
circumstances and conditions. The
Commission, therefore, will not under.
take to decide in advance what consti-
tutes or wha: does not constitute dis
elimination under substantially milar

Waste in the kitchen is very often
great from apparently trivial sources. In
cooking meats, the water is thrown out
without removing the grease, or the
grease from the dipping pan is thrown
away. Scraps Of meat are thrown away.
Cold potatoes are left to sour and spoil.
Dry fruits are not looked after and be
come wormy. Vinegar and sauce are
left standing in tin. Apples are let to
decay for want of sorting over" The
tea canister is left open. Victuals are
left exposed TO be eaten by mice.
Bones If meat and the carcass of turkey
are thrown away, when they could be
uskcd in making good soups. Sugar,
coffee, tea and rice are carelessly spilled
in the handling. Soap is left to dissolve

for dish towels. Towels are used for
dish holders Brcoms and mops are not
hung up. More coal is burned than neces-
sary by not arranging hampers when not

Lights are left burning when not used.
Tin dishes are not properly cleansed and
dried. Good new brooms are used in
scrubbing the kitchen floors. Silver
spoons are used in scraping kettles.
Cream is left to mould and spoil Mustard

Something New in Clocks.

A self-winding clock is one of the nov
elites in this market One would natur-
ally think that a self-winding clock would
come pretty near TO a solution Of the
problem of perpetual motion, but it
doesn't. The self-winding clock may be
locked up and left untouched for more
than a year, and it will run right along
without appreciate variation, and, It's
said, keep better time than common
clock that is often regulated" In the
seh-winder the winding is performed
every hour by an electric battery con-
cealed within the case, and it is reasona-
bly, claimed that this frequent action
averts overwinding and running down,
evils which are largely responsible for the
variations Of ordinary timepieces. Self
winding clocks cost all the way from
$3.50 to $3.50. The inventor of this
clock says he can connect by wire all
the clocks in the stations on a railway
between New York and Chicago, or be-
tween any other cities, so that a simple
touch on an electrical instrument in one
city will set all of the clocks to the same
time, without a seconds difference being
left between any two of them. If this
fertile inventor will now devise some
means Of keeping the watches carried by
engineers and conductors of freight trains
always within two or three seconds of
true time, he will confer still further
blessing upon his railway collision alb
horring fellow men.

Nature,s Provisions.

In 4 conversation drifting toward the
many wise provisions of nature, the Rev.
Mr.. Maxwell said: The other day. in
my intellectual excursions, I came across
wonderfully sensible paper treating Of
the use of snakes The long black snake
is especially useful He goes into the
dense swamps, worms himself among the
reek and flags and devours thousands Of
scorpions and lizards, which, without his
timely interference, would become too
numerous. So, you see, everything, even
the black snake, Is useful, being created
for purpose
That IS all very well, - one of the
reverend gentleman's listeners replied
We recognize the usefulness Of the
snake, because he devours scorpions and
lizards, but of what use, pray tell me,
are the scorpions and lizards2"
They eat innumerable insects" the
minister triumphantly replied.
" All right; but of what use arc the
insectsln
"The insectsTn Why er-they serve as
food for the lizards
Yes; but of what use are the
lizardsln
Why, you must be blind not to see
that they serve as food for the snakes
Z" OF course l see that. but that only
brings up the question Of what use are
the snakesln
g To eat the lizards, l tell you. Ny
dear sir, !" the minister added, ii is not
strange that philosophy advances so
slowly, when we think of mans narrow
ness Of understanding '-Arlmsar Trdr-

"Ho,n said O'Keefc, that's not fair {;

"Well,n said Macklin, coming up to
an old woman who had basket of veg
etables before her, what Is the price of
that caulifowerl"
THAT caulihowerln she replied, tax

and pinks and wallfowers and gillifow-

flower"
.sBut why not tell me the price of itl'
"Ah. you'll not get such a caulifower

The friends turned away ignorant to
the last of the price of that caulihower.
